My Own Korean Drama
Chapter 9 - True Love Will Never End
True love, true love,
The end of a story,
Realities.
True love will never end.
It's Min-wook again. It is now January 20, 2017. Last Monday I went on a date with Chris. To be honest, I was so happy when she finally left for the first date. Waiting four years after the first kiss is not easy at all. Being quiet for six years after meeting first made me feel like I was in hell, but now I can breathe a sigh of relief because it all stopped. I don't know what's going to happen but I'll try my best.
Gu Boy's name was called to go on stage. My schedule today is a promotion on the music show, and our song is contested. Our opponent is WU Clan, the boy group who debuted two years earlier plus those from big agencies. I can't expect too much to win her a music show award this time.
“We've worked hard.” As soon as Hyun Sik said in each ear, he patted his shoulders one by one while on stage. We all know that it is impossible to beat but there are two people who are still optimistic. Dae Ho, and Chris. I don't know where they can think that there's still a chance to win.
The seven of us stood on equal footing with the host as well as the WU Clan. The voice count on the screen started to run. I was trying to maintain a face so that despair would not be seen on the screen. The figures of the WU Clan stopped, wait, the figures of Gu Boy kept going. My eyes widened when I realized that Gu Boy had won. I shut my mouth with my hands so unreliable. I was really surprised. Gu Boy finally won the music show! After four years! Gu Boy's comeback song is back. Hyun Sik as the leader of the group received a mic proffered by the host. The staff from PE started giving us the mic for the victory celebration. After the host closed the series of activities, other performers began to come down from the stage. Some of us bowed to each other in greeting. There is a hope to see Chris among the crowd cheering Gu Boy's victory. I lowered my head then smiled before finally jumping back in excitement with the maknae line.
After the music show was over, all of us, including the staff on duty went to eat a charcoal barbecue near the PE building. Lee Jae Eon, Manager of Gu Boy ordered the entire restaurant to celebrate the victory this time. Today was the first company dinner after I debuted. A smile cannot be separated from everyone who sits. I can feel the happy atmosphere in this room. Everyone raised his little glass and clinked with another. I can't eat today, my dinner hour is past, and I have to diet. I took my phone out of my pocket. It's better to wait while playing mobile than to have to see people eating voraciously when I have to diet.

I smiled at Chris's message. It was a picture of a television screen in his car. In the photo was Gu Boy and the WU Clan plus the acquisition score. I smiled at my phone. It turned out that he was truly a true Luv (fandom Gu Boy). I photographed the six members who were completely unwilling to eat voraciously in front of me.
Min-wook
Thank you, Nuna
They eat voraciously when I have to endure hunger

My poor min-wook
I'll treat you when the diet program is over
The fighting!
I smiled back at Chris's reply. Just replying to a message she was adorable. I miss him again. Had we not met in PE, I would have dragged him all the way from the industry. If only we had met outside, would we have spent the night accompanied by beautiful candles in central Seoul? Sometimes I wonder about me being with Chris outside the entertainment industry.
Min-wook
I can't wait for that day to come
Chris no longer answered. I put the phone back in my pants pocket, and started to grumble about how Wook Ok was eating in front of me without hesitation. The atmosphere is very cheerful tonight as if tomorrow the problem will go away by itself. It was as if we were holding the world in our hands. The staff talked to each other, Gu Boy members devoured every piece of meat voraciously, and I sat here watching the joy of all this.
MY OWN KOREAN DRAMA
“How does it feel to win an award?” Ask Chris across the street. I took back the beer from my can.
“This is a very long wait, I thought it would feel great it was not that great,” I replied honestly then back vertical beer.
“Ehm...maybe because you waited too long, so it feels unsatisfactory,”
“Nuna is right, I always see my friends who are my age have collected many awards, Gu Boy is not yet anything.” I finally found the answer to my attitude.
“I've heard this somewhere, victory is not a happy ending because after a first victory should be continued the second victory and so on until it closes its eyes, so I don't think it's strange if you're not so excited,” Chris is back to comment on my attitude.
“What did Nuna do when she got the award first?” My toot.
“Dining company then treat you. You know the real victory will not stop while this victory will only last today, tomorrow you will wake up to fight again,” replied Chris.
“It looks like the first victory must be continued with the second victory, and so on,”, I said repeating Chris' remarks.
“What do you do tomorrow Monday?” Chris asked half a whisper. Chris must be expecting a date back. I breathed a rough breath considering that this industry would not give me the life that other normal couples deserve. Our normal words are different.
“You have a schedule.” Chris didn't throw a question, Chris made a statement. From my breath, Chris understood.
“Sorry, Nuna,” I say full of regrets.
“Hey, why are you apologizing, we both know this risk from the beginning,” said Chris trying to cheer me up. I smiled at how understanding Chris was. I'm lucky to have someone like him.
“You're right, I have to go to bed soon,” replied Chris resignedly then exhaled. I chuckled little to hear Chris reluctantly hang up the phone.
“Nuna sleep, I will send you a lunchbox tomorrow,” I said persuading her to go to bed soon.
“There's something I have to tell you,” said Nuna again, reluctant to close the call.
“What's that cold?” My toot. Chris dehem said.
“All right tell me, I am ready to listen,” my answer is as smooth as a lover who is very understanding.
“I met Auriga for dinner, I finished whatever was between us, and asked her to live happily with the woman she was with at this time,”
“I don't know if I really don't regret it, but as I'm sure, I don't want any more contact with Auriga, I think you need to know this,” Chris finished the story.
“It looks like Auriga's true love Nuna,” I said with a little bit of pain in there. I slightly squeezed the can in my hand until it broke a little.
“He was my first love, and it could be that my feelings for him had no end, but not all true love ends happily, right? I am happier with you than my true love,” Nuna explained. Even though at the end of his speech it was a bit of a relief, my heart still felt sore. There's a sense of tightness that I don't understand. Imagining him in the arms of another man is painful.
“Min-wook ssi, do you believe me?” Chris asked to pull me back to reality.
“Do I have any other choice but to trust Nuna?” I asked back while grunting at the end of the sentence.
“I'm sorry Min-wook ssi..”.
“Nuna is not wrong, human feelings cannot be forced,” my word cuts Chris. The momentary silent atmosphere.
“Nuna should go to bed soon,” I said again. After that, Chris went to bed, and the call ended. I went inside after finishing the can in my hand. Hyun Sik sat on the sofa as I walked in. The leader of the group was working with his laptop. I threw myself next to him.
“Sik-a,” call me a little frustrated.
“O?” Hyun Sik responded.
“Have you ever dated?” My toot. Hyun Sik immediately removed the headset used and placed the device on the table.
“Hyung didn't break up with Nuna did he?” Ask Hyun Sik. I took a deep breath and leaned back on the sofa.
“No, it's just that we're a little tenuous,” I replied.
“I don't really know about relationships, Hyung knows myself I'm too busy working, better ask that to Il Hoon, he's more experienced I guess,” Hyun Sik replied and then took his device back and worked again. I got up then headed towards Il Hoon's room at the end of the corridor. Without further ado, I opened the door in front of me. The trio maknae is playing cards on the room floor while Eun Hyuk is on the phone with someone.
“Il Hoon, yes!” Call me.
“O, Hyung?” Tanya Il Hoon was still playing cards.
“Ah, forget it,” I said as I closed the door again. I decided to go back to my room. Dae Ho, my roommate is nowhere to be, he must be in the studio. I threw myself into my bed and then took a deep breath.
“Chris,” my word is weak. I miss him so much.
“From you like this it's better for Hyung to call him.” A voice surprised me. It was Dae Ho.
“Since when were you there?!” I asked while screaming in shock until sitting down.
“I've been here since I came home,” he replied with a flat face.
“You haven't moved at all since hiding under that blanket?” I don't believe it.
“Can be,” answer flatly. I stared at him who was still relaxed. I sniffed and then went back to bed.
“I'm serious, Hyung, call your lover,” Dae Ho said once again.
“I just called him,”
“Then go to his place, you are like a cat looking for his mother.” Dae Ho again made a sound. I closed my eyes for a moment trying to ignore Dae Ho. Damnit damnit! My mind cannot calm down. I got up from the bed to get out of the room.
“Hyung!” Call Dae Ho once again. I turned to look at him.
“I don't know if this can ease your burden but I once read a sentence true love will never end.” Dae Ho gave me a suggestion. His words seemed to answer my burden tonight. Dae Ho is right, true love should have no end. It's not that the feeling never ends but the true love story should never end. A relationship that has true love should still work whatever the obstacles.
As if I had just regained consciousness, I ran towards the apartment parking lot. I drove my car to Chris' apartment. Tonight all the Seoulites seemed to be on my side to get to Chris's place. I don't know why the streets are so slow. I'm heading to Chris' basement parking. I parked my car right in front of the door leading upstairs. I looked out and called Chris.
“Min-wook?” Chris' voice is heard.
“I'm in the underground parking lot,” I said. I could hear Chris gasp before closing the call. I didn't know he was closing the call because he rushed down or didn't want to talk to me. I stared blankly at the door ahead. I don't know if tonight Chris will show up from there or I'll go home in vain. There comes a time when the relationship of two people who love each other becomes chaotic. Either because of the two people themselves or because of someone else. One thing I believe if they do have true love, their story will not be finished because true love will never end.
